** Implementation Notes
**
* -	a leading marker of //! is used. The purpose of such a sequence is to help to understand the flow
*	An example is:	//!rc = HCF_SUCCESS;
*	if this is superfluous because rc is already guaranteed to be 0 but it shows to the (maintenance)
*	programmer it is an intentional omission at the place where someone could consider it most appropriate at
*	first glance
* -	using near pointers in a model where ss!=ds is an invitation for disaster, so be aware of how you specify
*	your model and how you define variables which are used at interrupt time
* -	remember that sign extension on 32 bit platforms may cause problems unless code is carefully constructed,
*	e.g. use "(hcf_16)~foo" rather than "~foo"

*	HCF_SUCCESS				all (including invalid)
*	HCF_INT_PENDING			HCF_ACT_INT_OFF, interrupt pending
*	HCF_ERR_NO_NIC			HCF_ACT_INT_OFF, NIC presence check fails
*
*.CONDITIONS
* Except for hcf_action with HCF_ACT_INT_FORCE_ON or HCF_ACT_INT_OFF as parameter or hcf_connect with an I/O
* address (i.e. not HCF_DISCONNECT), all hcf-function calls MUST be preceeded by a call of hcf_action with
* HCF_ACT_INT_OFF as parameter.
* Note that hcf_connect defaults to NIC interrupt disabled mode, i.e. as if hcf_action( HCF_ACT_INT_OFF )
* was called.
*
*.DESCRIPTION
* hcf_action supports the following mode changing action-code pairs that are antonyms
*	 - HCF_ACT_CCX_OFF / HCF_ACT_CCX_ON
*	 - HCF_ACT_INT_[FORCE_]ON / HCF_ACT_INT_OFF
*
* Additionally hcf_action can start the following actions in the NIC:
*	 - HCF_ACT_PRS_SCAN
*	 - HCF_ACT_RX_ACK
*	 - HCF_ACT_SCAN
*	 - HCF_ACT_SLEEP
*	 - HCF_ACT_TALLIES
*
* o HCF_ACT_INT_OFF: Sets NIC Interrupts mode Disabled.
* This command, and the associated [Force] Enable NIC interrupts command, are only available if the HCF_INT_ON
* compile time option is not set at 0x0000.
*
* o HCF_ACT_INT_ON: Sets NIC Interrupts mode Enabled.
* Enable NIC Interrupts, depending on the number of preceding Disable NIC Interrupt calls.
*
* o HCF_ACT_INT_FORCE_ON: Force NIC Interrupts mode Enabled.
* Sets NIC Interrupts mode Enabled, regardless off the number of preceding Disable NIC Interrupt calls.
*
* The disabling and enabling of interrupts are antonyms.
* These actions must be balanced.
* For each "disable interrupts" there must be a matching "enable interrupts".
* The disable interrupts may be executed multiple times in a row without intervening enable interrupts, in
* other words, the disable interrupts may be nested.
* The interrupt generation mechanism is disabled at the first call with HCF_ACT_INT_OFF.
* The interrupt generation mechanism is re-enabled when the number of calls with HCF_ACT_INT_ON matches the
* number of calls with INT_OFF.
*
* It is not allowed to have more Enable NIC Interrupts calls than Disable NIC Interrupts calls.
* The interrupt generation mechanism is initially (i.e. after hcf_connect) disabled.
* An MSF based on a interrupt strategy must call hcf_action with INT_ON in its initialization logic.
*
*!	The INT_OFF/INT_ON housekeeping is initialized at 0x0000 by hcf_connect, causing the interrupt generation
*	mechanism to be disabled at first. This suits MSF implementation based on a polling strategy.
*
* o HCF_ACT_CCX_OFF / HCF_ACT_CCX_ON
*!! This can use some more explanation;?
* Disables and Enables support in the HCF runtime code for the CCX feature. Each time one of these action
* codes is used, the effects of the preceding use cease.
*
* o HCF_ACT_SLEEP: Initiates the Disconnected DeepSleep process
* This command is only available if the HCF_DDS compile time option is set. It triggers the F/W to start the
* sleep handshaking. Regardless whether the Host initiates a Disconnected DeepSleep (DDS) or the F/W initiates
* a Connected DeepSleep (CDS), the Host-F/W sleep handshaking is completed when the NIC Interrupts mode is
* enabled (by means of the balancing HCF_ACT_INT_ON), i.e. at that moment the F/W really goes into sleep mode.
* The F/W is wokenup by the HCF when the NIC Interrupts mode are disabled, i.e. at the first HCF_ACT_INT_OFF
* after going into sleep.
*
* The following Miscellanuous actions are defined:
*
* o HCF_ACT_RX_ACK: Receiver Acknowledgement (non-DMA, non-USB mode only)
* Acking the receiver, frees the NIC memory used to hold the Rx frame and allows the F/W to
* report the existence of the next Rx frame.
* If the MSF does not need access (any longer) to the current frame, e.g. because it is rejected based on the
* look ahead or copied to another buffer, the receiver may be acked. Acking earlier is assumed to have the
* potential of improving the performance.
* If the MSF does not explitly ack te receiver, the acking is done implicitly if:
* - the received frame fits in the look ahead buffer, by the hcf_service_nic call that reported the Rx frame
* - if not in the above step, by hcf_rcv_msg (assuming hcf_rcv_msg is called)
* - if neither of the above implicit acks nor an explicit ack by the MSF, by the first hcf_service_nic after
*	the hcf_service_nic that reported the Rx frame.
* Note: If an Rx frame is already acked, an explicit ACK by the MSF acts as a NoOperation.
*
* o HCF_ACT_TALLIES: Inquire Tallies command
* This command is only operational if the F/W is enabled.
* The Inquire Tallies command requests the F/W to provide its current set of tallies.
* See also hcf_get_info with CFG_TALLIES as parameter.
*
* o HCF_ACT_PRS_SCAN: Inquire Probe Respons Scan command
* This command is only operational if the F/W is enabled.
* The Probe Respons Scan command starts a scan sequence.
* The HCF puts the result of this action in an MSF defined buffer (see CFG_RID_LOG_STRCT).
*
* o HCF_ACT_SCAN: Inquire Scan command
* This command is only supported for HII F/W (i.e. pre-WARP) and it is operational if the F/W is enabled.
* The Inquire Scan command starts a scan sequence.
* The HCF puts the result of this action in an MSF defined buffer (see CFG_RID_LOG_STRCT).
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value.
* - NIC interrupts are not disabled while required by parameter action.
* - an invalid code is specified in parameter action.
* - HCF_ACT_INT_ON commands outnumber the HCF_ACT_INT_OFF commands.
* - reentrancy, may be  caused by calling hcf_functions without adequate protection against NIC interrupts or
*	multi-threading
*
* - Since the HCF does not maintain status information relative to the F/W enabled state, it is not asserted
*	whether HCF_ACT_SCAN, HCF_ACT_PRS_SCAN or HCF_ACT_TALLIES are only used while F/W is enabled.
*
*.DIAGRAM
* 0: The assert embedded in HCFLOGENTRY checks against re-entrancy. Re-entrancy could be caused by a MSF logic
*	at task-level calling hcf_functions without shielding with HCF_ACT_ON/_OFF. However the HCF_ACT_INT_OFF
*	action itself can per definition not be protected this way. Based on code inspection, it can be concluded,
*	that there is no re-entrancy PROBLEM in this particular flow. It does not seem worth the trouble to
*	explicitly check for this condition (although there was a report of an MSF which ran into this assert.
* 2:IFB_IntOffCnt is used to balance the INT_OFF and INT_ON calls.  Disabling of the interrupts is achieved by
*	writing a zero to the Hermes IntEn register.  In a shared interrupt environment (e.g. the mini-PCI NDIS
*	driver) it is considered more correct to return the status HCF_INT_PENDING if and only if, the current
*	invocation of hcf_service_nic is (apparently) called in the ISR when the ISR was activated as result of a
*	change in HREG_EV_STAT matching a bit in HREG_INT_EN, i.e. not if invoked as result of another device
*	generating an interrupt on the shared interrupt line.
*	Note 1: it has been observed that under certain adverse conditions on certain platforms the writing of
*	HREG_INT_EN can apparently fail, therefor it is paramount that HREG_INT_EN is written again with 0 for
*	each and every call to HCF_ACT_INT_OFF.
*	Note 2: it has been observed that under certain H/W & S/W architectures this logic is called when there is
*	no NIC at all. To cater for this, the value of HREG_INT_EN is validated. If the unused bit 0x0100 is set,
*	it is assumed there is no NIC.
*	Note 3: During the download process, some versions of the F/W reset HREG_SW_0, hence checking this
*	register for HCF_MAGIC (the classical NIC presence test) when HCF_ACT_INT_OFF is called due to another
*	card interrupting via a shared IRQ during a download, fails.
*4:	The construction "if ( ifbp->IFB_IntOffCnt-- == 0 )" is optimal (in the sense of shortest/quickest
*	path in error free flows) but NOT fail safe in case of too many INT_ON invocations compared to INT_OFF).
*	Enabling of the interrupts is achieved by writing the Hermes IntEn register.
*	 - If the HCF is in Defunct mode, the interrupts stay disabled.
*	 - Under "normal" conditions, the HCF is only interested in Info Events, Rx Events and Notify Events.
*	 - When the HCF is out of Tx/Notify resources, the HCF is also interested in Alloc Events.
*	 - via HCF_EXT, the MSF programmer can also request HREG_EV_TICK and/or HREG_EV_TX_EXC interrupts.
*	For DMA operation, the DMA hardware handles the alloc events. The DMA engine will generate a 'TxDmaDone'
*	event as soon as it has pumped a frame from host ram into NIC-RAM (note that the frame does not have to be
*	transmitted then), and a 'RxDmaDone' event as soon as a received frame has been pumped from NIC-RAM into
*	host ram.  Note that the 'alloc' event has been removed from the event-mask, because the DMA engine will
*	react to and acknowledge this event.
*6:	ack the "old" Rx-event. See "Rx Buffer free strategy" in hcf_service_nic above for more explanation.
*	IFB_RxFID and IFB_RxLen must be cleared to bring both the internal HCF house keeping and the information
*	supplied to the MSF in the state "no frame received".
*8:	The HCF_ACT_SCAN, HCF_ACT_PRS_SCAN and HCF_ACT_TALLIES activity are merged by "clever" algebraic
*	manipulations of the RID-values and action codes, so foregoing robustness against migration problems for
*	ease of implementation. The assumptions about numerical relationships between CFG_TALLIES etc and
*	HCF_ACT_TALLIES etc are checked by the "#if" statements just prior to the body of this routine, resulting
*	in: err "maintenance" during compilation if the assumptions are no longer met. The writing of HREG_PARAM_1
*	with 0x3FFF in case of an PRS scan, is a kludge to get around lack of specification, hence different
*	implementation in F/W and Host.
*	When there is no NIC RAM available, some versions of the Hermes F/W do report 0x7F00 as error in the
*	Result field of the Status register and some F/W versions don't. To mask this difference to the MSF all
*	return codes of the Hermes are ignored ("best" and "most simple" solution to these types of analomies with
*	an acceptable loss due to ignoring all error situations as well).
*	The "No inquire space" is reported via the Hermes tallies.
*30: do not HCFASSERT( rc, rc ) since rc == HCF_INT_PENDING is no error

*.DESCRIPTION
* The parameter cmd contains a number of subfields.
* The actual value for cmd is created by logical or-ing the appropriate mnemonics for the subfields.
* The field 0x001F contains the command code
*  - HCF_CNTL_ENABLE
*  - HCF_CNTL_DISABLE
*  - HCF_CNTL_CONNECT
*  - HCF_CNTL_DISCONNECT
*  - HCF_CNTL_CONTINUE
*
* For HCF_CNTL_CONTINUE, the field 0x0100 contains the retry flag HCMD_RETRY.
* For HCF_CNTL_CONNECT and HCF_CNTL_DISCONNECT, the field 0x0700 contains the port number as HCF_PORT_#.
* For Station as well as AccessPoint F/W, MAC Port 0 is the "normal" communication channel.
* For AccessPoint F/W, MAC Port 1 through 6 control the WDS links.
*
* Note that despite the names HCF_CNTL_DISABLE and HCF_CNTL_ENABLE, hcf_cntl does not influence the NIC
* Interrupts mode.
*
* The Connect is used by the MSF to bring a particular port in an inactive state as far as data transmission
* and reception are concerned.
* When a particular port is disconnected:
* - the F/W disables the receiver for that port.
* - the F/W ignores send commands for that port.
* - all frames (Receive as well as pending Transmit) for that port on the NIC are discarded.
*
* When the NIC is disabled, above list applies to all ports, i.e. the result is like all ports are
* disconnected.
*
* When a particular port is connected:
* - the F/W effectuates the static configuration for that port.
* - enables the receiver for that port.
* - accepts send commands for that port.
*
* Enabling has the following effects:
* - the F/W effectuates the static configuration for all ports.
*	The F/W only updates its static configuration at a transition from disabled to enabled or from
*	disconnected to connected.
*	In order to enforce the static configuration, the MSF must assure that such a transition takes place.
*	Due to such a disable/enable or disconnect/connect sequence, Rx/Tx frames may be lost, in other words,
*	configuration may impact communication.
* - The DMA Engine (if applicable) is enabled.
* Note that the Enable Function by itself only enables data transmission and reception, it
* does not enable the Interrupt Generation mechanism. This is done by hcf_action.
*
* Disabling has the following effects:
*!!  ;?????is the following statement really true
* - it acts as a disconnect on all ports.
* - The DMA Engine (if applicable) is disabled.
*
* For impact of the disable command on the behavior of hcf_dma_tx/rx_get see the appropriate sections.
*
* Although the Enable/Disable and Connect/Disconnect are antonyms, there is no restriction on their sequencing,
* in other words, they may be called multiple times in arbitrary sequence without being paired or balanced.
* Each time one of these functions is called, the effects of the preceding calls cease.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value.
* - NIC interrupts are not disabled.
* - A command other than Continue, Enable, Disable, Connect or Disconnect is given.
* - An invalid combination of the subfields is given or a bit outside the subfields is given.
* - any return code besides HCF_SUCCESS.
* - reentrancy, may be  caused by calling a hcf_function without adequate protection against NIC interrupts or
*	multi-threading
*
*.DIAGRAM
*	hcf_cntl takes successively the following actions:
*2:	If the HCF is in Defunct mode or incompatible with the Primary or Station Supplier in the Hermes,
*	hcf_cntl() returns immediately with HCF_ERR_NO_NIC;? as status.
*8:	when the port is disabled, the DMA engine needs to be de-activated, so the host can safely reclaim tx
*	packets from the tx descriptor chain.

*.PURPOSE		Grants access right for the HCF to the IFB.
*				Initializes Card and HCF housekeeping.
*
*.ARGUMENTS
*	ifbp		(near) address of the Interface Block
*	io_base		non-USB: I/O Base address of the NIC (connect)
*				non-USB: HCF_DISCONNECT
*				USB:	 HCF_CONNECT, HCF_DISCONNECT
*
*.RETURNS
*	HCF_SUCCESS
*	HCF_ERR_INCOMP_PRI
*	HCF_ERR_INCOMP_FW
*	HCF_ERR_DEFUNCT_CMD_SEQ
*!!	HCF_ERR_NO_NIC really returned ;?
*	HCF_ERR_NO_NIC
*	HCF_ERR_TIME_OUT
*
*	MSF-accessible fields of Result Block:
*	IFB_IOBase				entry parameter io_base
*	IFB_IORange				HREG_IO_RANGE (0x40/0x80)
*	IFB_Version				version of the IFB layout
*	IFB_FWIdentity			CFG_FW_IDENTITY_STRCT, specifies the identity of the
*							"running" F/W, i.e. tertiary F/W under normal conditions
*	IFB_FWSup				CFG_SUP_RANGE_STRCT, specifies the supplier range of
*							the "running" F/W, i.e. tertiary F/W under normal conditions
*	IFB_HSISup				CFG_SUP_RANGE_STRCT, specifies the HW/SW I/F range of the NIC
*	IFB_PRIIdentity			CFG_PRI_IDENTITY_STRCT, specifies the Identity of the Primary F/W
*	IFB_PRISup				CFG_SUP_RANGE_STRCT, specifies the supplier range of the Primary F/W
*	all other				all MSF accessible fields, which are not specified above, are zero-filled
*
*.CONDITIONS
* It is the responsibility of the MSF to assure the correctness of the I/O Base address.
*
* Note: hcf_connect defaults to NIC interrupt disabled mode, i.e. as if hcf_action( HCF_ACT_INT_OFF )
* was called.
*
*.DESCRIPTION
* hcf_connect passes the MSF-defined location of the IFB to the HCF and grants or revokes access right for the
* HCF to the IFB. Revoking is done by specifying HCF_DISCONNECT rather than an I/O address for the parameter
* io_base.  Every call of hcf_connect in "connect" mode, must eventually be followed by a call of hcf_connect
* in "disconnect" mode. Clalling hcf_connect in "connect"/"disconnect" mode can not be nested.
* The IFB address must be used as a handle with all subsequent HCF-function calls and the HCF uses the IFB
* address as a handle when it performs a call(back) of an MSF-function (i.e. msf_assert).
*
* Note that not only the MSF accessible fields are cleared, but also all internal housekeeping
* information is re-initialized.
* This implies that all settings which are done via hcf_action and hcf_put_info (e.g. CFG_MB_ASSERT, CFG_REG_MB,
* CFG_REG_INFO_LOG) must be done again. The only field which is not cleared, is IFB_MSFSup.
*
* If HCF_INT_ON is selected as compile option, NIC interrupts are disabled.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp is not properly aligned ( ref chapter HCF_ALIGN in 4.1.1)
* - I/O Base Address is not a multiple of 0x40 (note: 0x0000 is explicitly allowed).
*
*.DIAGRAM
*
*0:	Throughout hcf_connect you need to distinguish the connect from the disconnect case, which requires
*	some attention about what to use as "I/O" address when for which purpose.
*2:
*2a: Reset H-II by toggling reset bit in IO-register on and off.
*	The HCF_TYPE_PRELOADED caters for the DOS environment where H-II is loaded by a separate program to
*	overcome the 64k size limit posed on DOS drivers.
*	The macro OPW is not yet useable because the IFB_IOBase field is not set.
*	Note 1: hopefully the clearing and initializing of the IFB (see below) acts as a delay which meets the
*	specification for S/W reset
*	Note 2: it turns out that on some H/W constellations, the clock to access the EEProm is not lowered
*	to an appropriate frequency by HREG_IO_SRESET. By giving an HCMD_INI first, this problem is worked around.
*2b: Experimentally it is determined over a wide range of F/W versions that waiting for the for Cmd bit in
*	Ev register gives a workable strategy. The available documentation does not give much clues.
*4:	clear and initialize the IFB
*	The HCF house keeping info is designed such that zero is the appropriate initial value for as much as
*	feasible IFB-items.
*	The readable fields mentioned in the description section and some HCF specific fields are given their
*	actual value.
*	IFB_TickIni is initialized at best guess before calibration
*	Hcf_connect defaults to "no interrupt generation" (implicitly achieved by the zero-filling).
*6:	Register compile-time linked MSF Routine and set default filter level
*	cast needed to get around the "near" problem in DOS COM model
*	er C2446: no conversion from void (__near __cdecl *)(unsigned char __far *,unsigned int,unsigned short,int)
*							to   void (__far  __cdecl *)(unsigned char __far *,unsigned int,unsigned short,int)
*8:	If a command is apparently still active (as indicated by the Busy bit in Cmd register) this may indicate a
*	blocked cmd pipe line.  To unblock the following actions are done:
*	 - Ack everything
*	 - Wait for Busy bit drop  in Cmd register
*	 - Wait for Cmd  bit raise in Ev  register
*	The two waits are combined in a single HCF_WAIT_WHILE to optimize memory size. If either of these waits
*	fail (prot_cnt becomes 0), then something is serious wrong. Rather than PANICK, the assumption is that the
*	next cmd_exe will fail, causing the HCF to go into DEFUNCT mode
*10:	Ack everything to unblock a (possibly blocked) cmd pipe line
*	Note 1: it is very likely that an Alloc event is pending and very well possible that a (Send) Cmd event is
*	pending on non-initial calls
*	Note 2: it is assumed that this strategy takes away the need to ack every conceivable event after an
*	Hermes Initialize
*12:	Only H-II NEEDS the Hermes Initialize command. Due to the different semantics for H-I and H-II
*	Initialize command, init() does not (and can not, since it is called e.g. after a download) execute the
*	Hermes Initialize command. Executing the Hermes Initialize command for H-I would not harm but not do
*	anything useful either, so it is skipped.
*	The return status of cmd_exe is ignored. It is assumed that if cmd_exe fails, init fails too
*14:	use io_base as a flag to merge hcf_connect and hcf_disconnect into 1 routine
*	the call to init and its subsequent call of cmd_exe will return HCF_ERR_NO_NIC if appropriate. This status
*	is (badly) needed by some legacy combination of NT4 and card services which do not yield an I/O address in
*	time.
*
*.NOTICE
*	On platforms where the NULL-pointer is not a bit-pattern of all zeros, the zero-filling of the IFB results
*	in an incorrect initialization of pointers.
*	The implementation of the MailBox manipulation in put_mb_info protects against the absence of a MailBox
*	based on IFB_MBSize, IFB_MBWp and ifbp->IFB_MBRp. This has ramifications on the initialization of the
*	MailBox via hcf_put_info with the CFG_REG_MB type, but it prevents dependency on the "NULL-"ness of
*	IFB_MBp.
*
*.NOTICE
*	There are a number of problems when asserting and logging hcf_connect, e.g.
*	 - Asserting on re-entrancy of hcf_connect by means of
*	 "HCFASSERT( (ifbp->IFB_AssertTrace & HCF_ASSERT_CONNECT) == 0, 0 )" is not useful because IFB contents
*	 are undefined
*	 - Asserting before the IFB is cleared will cause mdd_assert() to interpret the garbage in IFB_AssertRtn
*	 as a routine address
*	Therefore HCFTRACE nor HCFLOGENTRY is called by hcf_connect.

* Function get_frame_lst
*  - resolve the "last host-owned descriptor" problems when a descriptor list is reclaimed by the MSF.
*
* The FrameList to be reclaimed as well as the DescriptorList always start in IFB_FirstDesc[tx_rx_flag]
* and this is always the "current" DELWA Descriptor.
*
* If a FrameList is available, the last descriptor of the FrameList to turned into a new DELWA Descriptor:
*  - a copy is made from the information in the last descriptor of the FrameList into the current
*	 DELWA Descriptor
*  - the remainder of the DescriptorList is detached from the copy by setting the next_desc_addr at NULL
*  - the DMA control bits of the copy are cleared to do not confuse the MSF
*  - the copy of the last descriptor (i.e. the "old" DELWA Descriptor) is chained to the prev Descriptor
*	 of the FrameList, thus replacing the original last Descriptor of the FrameList.
*  - IFB_FirstDesc is changed to the address of that replaced (original) last descriptor of the FrameList,
*	 i.e. the "new" DELWA Descriptor.
*
* This function makes a copy of that last host-owned descriptor, so the MSF will get a copy of the descriptor.

*
*.DESCRIPTION
* hcf_dma_rx_get is intended to  return a received frame when such a frame is deposited in Host memory by the
* DMA engine. In addition hcf_dma_rx_get can be used to reclaim all descriptors in the rx descriptor chain
* when the DMA Engine is disabled, e.g. as part of a driver unloading strategy.
* hcf_dma_rx_get must be called repeatedly by the MSF when hcf_service_nic signals availability of a rx frame
* through the HREG_EV_RDMAD flag of IFB_DmaPackets. The calling must stop when a NULL pointer is returned, at
* which time the HREG_EV_RDMAD flag is also cleared by the HCF to arm the mechanism for the next frame
* reception.
* Regardless whether the DMA Engine is currently enabled (as controlled via hcf_cntl), if the DMA controller
* deposited an Rx-frame in the Rx-DescriptorList, this frame is detached from the Rx-DescriptorList,
* transformed into a FrameList (i.e.  updating the housekeeping fields in the descriptors) and returned to the
* caller.
* If no such Rx-frame is available in the Rx-DescriptorList, the behavior of hcf_dma_rx_get depends on the
* status of the DMA Engine.
* If the DMA Engine is enabled, a NULL pointer is returned.
* If the DMA Engine is disabled, the following strategy is used:
* - the complete Rx-DescriptorList is returned. The DELWA Descriptor is not part of the Rx-DescriptorList.
* - If there is no Rx-DescriptorList, the DELWA Descriptor is returned.
* - If there is no DELWA Descriptor, a NULL pointer is returned.
*
* If the MSF performs an disable/enable sequence without exhausting the Rx-DescriptorList as described above,
* the enable command will reset all house keeping information, i.e. already received but not yet by the MSF
* retrieved frames are lost and the next frame will be received starting with the oldest descriptor.
*
* The HCF can be used in 2 fashions: with and without decapsulation for data transfer.
* This is controlled at compile time by the HCF_ENC bit of the HCF_ENCAP system constant.
* If appropriate, decapsulation is done by moving some data inside the buffers and updating the descriptors
* accordingly.

*.RETURNS		N.A.
*
*.DESCRIPTION
* The HCF can be used in 2 fashions: with and without encapsulation for data transfer.
* This is controlled at compile time by the HCF_ENC bit of the HCF_ENCAP system constant.
*
* Regardless of the HCF_ENCAP system constant, the descriptor list created to describe the frame to be
* transmitted, must supply space to contain the 802.11 header, preceding the actual frame to be transmitted.
* Basically, this only supplies working storage to the HCF which passes this on to the DMA engine.
* As a consequence the contents of this space do not matter.
* Nevertheless BUF_CNT must take in account this storage.
* This working space to contain the 802.11 header may not be fragmented, the first buffer must be
* sufficiently large to contain at least the 802.11 header, i.e. HFS_ADDR_DEST (29 words or 0x3A bytes).
* This way, the HCF can simply, regardless whether or not the HCF encapsulates the frame, write the parameter
* tx_cntl at offset 0x36 (HFS_TX_CNTL) in the first buffer.
* Note that it is allowed to have part or all of the actual frame represented by the first descriptor as long
* as the requirement for storage for the 802.11 header is met, i.e. the 802.3 frame starts at offset
* HFS_ADDR_DEST.
* Except for the Assert on the 1st buffer in case of Encapsualtion, the SIZE fields are ignored.
*
* In case the encapsulation feature is compiled in, there are the following additional requirements.
* o The BUF_CNT of the first buffer changes from a minimum of 0x3A bytes to exactly 0x3A, i.e. the workspace
*	to store the 802.11 header
* o The BUF_SIZE of the first buffer is at least the space needed to store the
*	- 802.11 header (29 words)
*	- 802.3 header, i.e. 12 bytes addressing information and 2 bytes length field
*	- 6 bytes SNAP-header
*   This results in 39 words or 0x4E bytes or HFS_TYPE.
*   Note that if the BUF_SIZE is larger than 0x4E, this surplus is not used.
* o The actual frame begins in the 2nd descriptor (which is already implied by the BUF_CNT == 0x3A requirement) and the associated buffer contains at least the 802.3 header, i.e. the 14 bytes representing addressing information and length/type field
*
*   When the HCF does not encapsulates (i.e. length/type field <= 1500),  no changes are made to descriptors
*   or buffers.
*
*   When the HCF actually encapsulates (i.e. length/type field > 1500), it successively writes, starting at
*   offset HFS_ADDR_DEST (0x3A) in the first buffer:
*     - the 802.3 addressing information, copied from the begin of the second buffer
*     - the frame length, derived from the total length of the individual fragments, corrected for the SNAP
*   	header length and Type field and ignoring the Destination Address, Source Address and Length field
* 	  - the appropriate snap header (Tunnel or 1042, depending on the value of the type field).
*
* 	 The information in the first two descriptors is adjusted accordingly:
* 	  - the first descriptor count is changed from 0x3A to 0x4E (HFS_TYPE), which matches 0x3A + 12 + 2 + 6
* 	  - the second descriptor count is decreased by 12, being the moved addressing information
* 	  - the second descriptor (physical) buffer address is increased by 12.
*
* When the descriptors are returned by hcf_dma_tx_get, the transformation of the first two descriptors is
* undone.
*
* Under any of the above scenarios, the assert BUF_CNT <= BUF_SIZE must be true for all descriptors
* In case of encapsulation, BUF_SIZE of the 1st descriptor is asserted to be at least HFS_TYPE (0x4E), so it is NOT tested.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value.
* - tx_cntl has a recognizable out-of-range value.
* - NIC interrupts are not disabled while required by parameter action.
* - in case encapsulation by the HCF is selected:
*	  -	The FrameList does not consists of at least 2 Descriptors.
*	  -	The first databuffer does not contain exactly the (space for) the 802.11 header (== 28 words)
*	  -	The first databuffer does not have a size to additionally accomodate the 802.3 header and the
*		SNAP header of the frame after encapsulation (== 39 words).
*	  -	The second databuffer does not contain at least DA, SA and 'type/length' (==14 bytes or 7 words)
*!! The 2nd part of the list of asserts should be kept in sync with put_frame_lst, in order to get
*!! them in the WCI-spec !!!!
* - DMA is not enabled
* - descriptor list is NULL
* - a descriptor in the descriptor list is not double word aligned

* - the DELWA descriptor is not a "singleton" DescriptorList.
* - the DELWA descriptor is not the first Descriptor supplied

* On return, the L-field indicates the number of words actually contained by the Type and Value fields.
* As the size of the Type field in the LTV-record is included in the "Initial DataLength" of the record, the
* V-field can contain at most "Initial DataLength" - 1 words of data.
* Copying stops if either the complete Information is copied or if the number of words indicated by the
* "Initial DataLength" were copied.  The "Initial DataLength" acts as a safe guard against Configuration
* Information blocks that have different sizes for different F/W versions, e.g. when later versions support
* more tallies than earlier versions.
* If the size of Value field of the RID exceeds the size of the "Initial DataLength" -1, as much data
* as fits is copied, and an error status of HCF_ERR_LEN is returned.
*
* It is the responsibility of the MSF to detect card removal and re-insertion and not call the HCF when the
* NIC is absent. The MSF cannot, however, timely detect a Card removal if the Card is removed while
* hcf_get_info is in progress.  Therefore, the HCF performs its own check on Card presence after the read
* operation of the NIC data.  If the Card is not present or removed during the execution of hcf_get_info,
* HCF_ERR_NO_NIC is returned and the content of the Data Buffer is unpredictable. This check is not performed
* in case of the "HCF embedded" pseudo RIDs like CFG_TALLIES.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value.
* - reentrancy, may be  caused by calling hcf_functions without adequate protection
*	against NIC interrupts or multi-threading.
* - ltvp is a NULL pointer.
* - length field of the LTV-record at entry is 0 or 1 or has an excessive value (i.e. exceeds HCF_MAX_LTV).
* - type field of the LTV-record is invalid.
*
*.DIAGRAM
*	Hcf_get_mb_info copies the contents of the oldest MailBox Info block in the MailBox to PC RAM. If len is
*	less than the size of the MailBox Info block, only as much as fits in the PC RAM buffer is copied. After
*	the copying the MailBox Read pointer is updated to point to the next MailBox Info block, hence the
*	remainder of an "oversized" MailBox Info block is lost. The truncation of the MailBox Info block is NOT
*	reflected in the return status. Note that hcf_get_info guarantees the length of the PC RAM buffer meets
*	the minimum requirements of at least 2, so no PC RAM buffer overrun.
*
*	Calling hcf_get_mb_info when their is no MailBox Info block available or when there is no MailBox at all,
*	results in a "NULL" MailBox Info block.
*
*12:	see NOTICE
*17: The return status of cmd_wait and the first hcfio_in_string can be ignored, because when one fails, the
*	other fails via the IFB_DefunctStat mechanism
*20: "HCFASSERT( rc == HCF_SUCCESS, rc )" is not suitable because this will always trigger as side effect of
*	the HCFASSERT in hcf_put_info which calls hcf_get_info to figure out whether the RID exists at all.

*.NOTICE
*
*	"HCF embedded" pseudo RIDs:
*	CFG_MB_INFO, CFG_TALLIES, CFG_DRV_IDENTITY, CFG_DRV_SUP_RANGE, CFG_DRV_ACT_RANGES_PRI,
*	CFG_DRV_ACT_RANGES_STA, CFG_DRV_ACT_RANGES_HSI
*	Note the HCF_ERR_LEN is NOT adequately set, when L >= 2 but less than needed
*
*	Remarks: Transfers operation information and transient and persistent configuration information from the
*	Card and from the HCF to the MSF.
*	The exact layout of the provided data structure depends on the action code. Copying stops if either the
*	complete Configuration Information is copied or if the number of bytes indicated by len is copied.  Len
*	acts as a safe guard against Configuration Information blocks which have different sizes for different
*	Hermes versions, e.g. when later versions support more tallies than earlier versions. It is a conscious
*	decision that unused parts of the PC RAM buffer are not cleared.
*
*	Remarks: The only error against which is protected is the "Read error" as result of Card removal. Only the
*	last hcf_io_string need to be protected because if the first fails the second will fail as well. Checking
*	for cmd_exe errors is supposed superfluous because problems in cmd_exe are already caught or will be
*	caught by hcf_enable.
*
*	CFG_MB_INFO: copy the oldest MailBox Info Block or the "null" block if none available.
*
*	The mechanism to HCF_ASSERT on invalid typ-codes in the LTV record is based on the following strategy:
*	  - during the pseudo-asynchronous Hermes commands (diagnose, download)	only CFG_MB_INFO is acceptable
*	  -	some codes (e.g. CFG_TALLIES) are explicitly handled by the HCF which implies that these codes
*		are valid
*	  - all other codes in the range 0xFC00 through 0xFFFF are passed to the Hermes.  The Hermes returns an
*		LTV record with a zero value in the L-field for all Typ-codes it does not recognize. This is
*		defined and intended behavior, so HCF_ASSERT does not catch on this phenomena.
*	  -	all remaining codes are invalid and cause an ASSERT.
*
*.CONDITIONS
* In case of USB, HCF_MAX_MSG ;?USED;? to limit the amount of data that can be retrieved via hcf_get_info.

*.DESCRIPTION
* The L-field of the LTV-record (provided by the MSF in parameter ltvp) specifies the size of the buffer.
* The L-value includes the size of the T-field, but not the size of the L-field.
* The T- field specifies the RID placed in the V-field by the MSF.
*
* Not all CFG-codes can be used for hcf_put_info.  The following CFG-codes are valid for hcf_put_info:
* o One of the CFG-codes in the group "Network Parameters, Static Configuration Entities"
* Changes made by hcf_put_info to CFG_codes in this group will not affect the F/W
* and HCF behavior until hcf_cntl_port( HCF_PORT_ENABLE) is called.
* o One of the CFG-codes in the group "Network Parameters, Dynamic Configuration Entities"
* Changes made by hcf_put_info to CFG_codes will affect the F/W and HCF behavior immediately.
* o CFG_PROG.
* This code is used to initiate and terminate the process to download data either to
* volatile or to non-volatile RAM on the NIC as well as for the actual download.
* o CFG-codes related to the HCF behavior.
* The related CFG-codes are:
*  - CFG_REG_MB
*  - CFG_REG_ASSERT_RTNP
*  - CFG_REG_INFO_LOG
*  - CFG_CMD_NIC
*  - CFG_CMD_DONGLE
*  - CFG_CMD_HCF
*  - CFG_NOTIFY
*
* All LTV-records "unknown" to the HCF are forwarded to the F/W.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value.
* - ltvp is a NULL pointer.
* - hcf_put_info was called without prior call to hcf_connect
* - type field of the LTV-record is invalid, i.e. neither HCF nor F/W can handle the value.
* - length field of the LTV-record at entry is less than 1 or exceeds MAX_LTV_SIZE.
* - registering a MailBox with size less than 60 or a non-aligned buffer address is used.
* - reentrancy, may be  caused by calling hcf_functions without adequate protection against
*	NIC interrupts or multi-threading.

*.MODULE		int hcf_rcv_msg( IFBP ifbp, DESC_STRCT *descp, unsigned int offset )
*.PURPOSE		All: decapsulate a message.
*				pre-HermesII.5: verify MIC.
*				non-USB, non-DMA mode: Transfer a message from the NIC to the Host and acknowledge reception.
*				USB: Transform a message from proprietary USB format to 802.3 format
*
*.ARGUMENTS
*	ifbp		address of the Interface Block
*	descp		Pointer to the Descriptor List location.
*	offset		USB: not used
*				non-USB: specifies the beginning of the data to be obtained (0 corresponds with DestAddr field
*				of frame).
*
*.RETURNS
*	HCF_SUCCESS			No SSN error ( or HCF_ERR_MIC already reported by hcf_service_nic)
*	HCF_ERR_MIC			message contains an erroneous MIC ( HCF_SUCCESS is reported if HCF_ERR_MIC is already
*						reported by hcf_service_nic)
* 	HCF_ERR_NO_NIC		NIC removed during data retrieval
* 	HCF_ERR_DEFUNCT...
*
*.DESCRIPTION
* The Receive Message Function can be executed by the MSF to obtain the Data Info fields of the message that
* is reported to be available by the Service NIC Function.
*
* The Receive Message Function copies the message data available in the Card memory into a buffer structure
* provided by the MSF.
* Only data of the message indicated by the Service NIC Function can be obtained.
* Execution of the Service NIC function may result in the availability of a new message, but it definitely
* makes the message reported by the preceding Service NIC function, unavailable.
*
* in non-USB/non-DMA mode, hcf_rcv_msg starts the copy process at the (non-negative) offset requested by the
* parameter offset, relative to HFS_ADDR_DEST, e.g offset 0 starts copying from the Destination Address, the
* very begin of the 802.3 frame message. Offset must either lay within the part of the 802.3 frame as stored
* by hcf_service_nic in the lookahead buffer or be just behind it, i.e. the first byte not yet read.
* When offset is within lookahead, data is copied from lookahead.
* When offset is beyond lookahead, data is read directly from RxFS in NIC with disregard of the actual value
* of offset
*
*.NOTICE:
* o at entry: look ahead buffer as passed with hcf_service_nic is still accessible and unchanged
* o at exit: Receive Frame in NIC memory is released
*
* Description:
* Starting at the byte indicated by the Offset value, the bytes are copied from the Data Info
* Part of the current Receive Frame Structure to the Host memory data buffer structure
* identified by descp.
* The maximum value for Offset is the number of characters of the 802.3 frame read into the
* look ahead buffer by hcf_service_nic (i.e. the look ahead buffer size minus
* Control and 802.11 fields)
* If Offset is less than the maximum value, copying starts from the look ahead buffer till the
* end of that buffer is reached
* Then (or if the maximum value is specified for Offset), the
* message is directly copied from NIC memory to Host memory.
* If an invalid (i.e. too large) offset is specified, an assert catches but the buffer contents are
* undefined.
* Copying stops if either:
* o the end of the 802.3 frame is reached
* o the Descriptor with a NULL pointer in the next_desc_addr field is reached
*
* When the copying stops, the receiver is ack'ed, thus freeing the NIC memory where the frame is stored
* As a consequence, hcf_rcv_msg can only be called once for any particular Rx frame.
*
* For the time being (PCI Bus mastering not yet supported), only the following fields of each
* of the descriptors in the descriptor list must be set by the MSF:
* o buf_cntl.buf_dim[1]
* o *next_desc_addr
* o *buf_addr
* At return from hcf_rcv_msg, the field buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] of the used Descriptors reflects
* the number of bytes in the buffer corresponding with the Descriptor.
* On the last used Descriptor, buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] is less or equal to buf_cntl.buf_dim[1].
* On all preceding Descriptors buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] is equal to buf_cntl.buf_dim[1].
* On all succeeding (unused) Descriptors, buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] is zero.
* Note: this I/F is based on the assumptions how the I/F needed for PCI Bus mastering will
* be, so it may change.
*
* The most likely handling of HCF_ERR_NO_NIC by the MSF is to drop the already copied
* data as elegantly as possible under the constraints and requirements posed by the (N)OS.
* If no received Frame Structure is pending, "Success" rather than "Read error" is returned.
* This error constitutes a logic flaw in the MSF
* The HCF can only catch a minority of this
* type of errors
* Based on consistency ideas, the HCF catches none of these errors.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value
* - there is no unacknowledged Rx-message available
* - offset is out of range (outside look ahead buffer)

*.DESCRIPTION:
* The Send Message Function embodies 2 functions:
* o transfers a message (including MAC header) from the provided buffer structure in Host memory to the Transmit
* Frame Structure (TxFS) in NIC memory.
* o Issue a send command to the F/W to actually transmit the contents of the TxFS.
*
* Control is based on the Resource Indicator IFB_RscInd.
* The Resource Indicator is maintained by the HCF and should only be interpreted but not changed by the MSF.
* The MSF must check IFB_RscInd to be non-zero before executing the call to the Send Message Function.
* When no resources are available, the MSF must handle the queuing of the Transmit frame and check the
* Resource Indicator periodically after calling hcf_service_nic.
*
* The Send Message Functions transfers a message to NIC memory when it is called with a non-NULL descp.
* Before the Send Message Function is invoked this way, the Resource Indicator (IFB_RscInd) must be checked.
* If the Resource is not available, Send Message Function execution must be postponed until after processing of
* a next hcf_service_nic it appears that the Resource has become available.
* The message is copied from the buffer structure identified by descp to the NIC.
* Copying stops if a NULL pointer in the next_desc_addr field is reached.
* Hcf_send_msg does not check for transmit buffer overflow, because the F/W does this protection.
* In case of a transmit buffer overflow, the surplus which does not fit in the buffer is simply dropped.
*
* The Send Message Function activates the F/W to actually send the message to the medium when the
* HFS_TX_CNTL_TX_DELAY bit of the tx_cntl parameter is not set.
* If the descp parameter of the current call is non-NULL, the message as represented by descp is send.
* If the descp parameter of the current call is NULL, and if the preceding call of the Send Message Function had
* a non-NULL descp and the preceding call had the HFS_TX_CNTL_TX_DELAY bit of tx_cntl set, then the message as
* represented by the descp of the preceding call is send.
*
* Hcf_send_msg supports encapsulation (see HCF_ENCAP) of Ethernet-II frames.
* An Ethernet-II frame is transferred to the Transmit Frame structure as an 802.3 frame.
* Hcf_send_msg distinguishes between an 802.3 and an Ethernet-II frame by looking at the data length/type field
* of the frame. If this field contains a value larger than 1514, the frame is considered to be an Ethernet-II
* frame, otherwise it is treated as an 802.3 frame.
* To ease implementation of the HCF, this type/type field must be located in the first descriptor structure,
* i.e. the 1st fragment must have a size of at least 14 (to contain DestAddr, SrcAddr and Len/Type field).
* An Ethernet-II frame is encapsulated by inserting a SNAP header between the addressing information and the
* type field.  This insertion is transparent for the MSF.
* The HCF contains a fixed table that stores a number of types. If the value specified by the type/type field
* occurs in this table, Bridge Tunnel Encapsulation is used, otherwise RFC1042 encapsulation is used.
* Bridge Tunnel uses	AA AA 03 00 00 F8 as SNAP header,
* RFC1042 uses	AA AA 03 00 00 00 as SNAP header.
* The table currently contains:
* 0 0x80F3	AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP)
* 0 0x8137	IPX
*
* The algorithm to distinguish between 802.3 and Ethernet-II frames limits the maximum length for frames of
* 802.3 frames to 1514 bytes.
* Encapsulation can be suppressed by means of the system constant HCF_ENCAP, e.g. to support proprietary
* protocols with 802.3 like frames with a size larger than 1514 bytes.
*
* In case the HCF encapsulates the frame, the number of bytes that is actually transmitted is determined by the
* cumulative value of the buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] fields.
* In case the HCF does not encapsulate the frame, the number of bytes that is actually transmitted is not
* determined by the cumulative value of the buf_cntl.buf_dim[DESC_CNTL_CNT] fields of the desc_strct's but by
* the Length field of the 802.3 frame.
* If there is a conflict between the cumulative value of the buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] fields and the
* 802.3 Length field the 802.3 Length field determines the number of bytes actually transmitted by the NIC while
* the cumulative value of the buf_cntl.buf_dim[0] fields determines the position of the MIC, hence a mismatch
* will result in MIC errors on the Receiving side.
* Currently this problem is flagged on the Transmit side by an Assert.
* The following fields of each of the descriptors in the descriptor list must be set by the MSF:
* o buf_cntl.buf_dim[0]
* o *next_desc_addr
* o *buf_addr
*
* All bits of the tx_cntl parameter except HFS_TX_CNTL_TX_DELAY and the HCF_PORT# bits are passed to the F/W via
* the HFS_TX_CNTL field of the TxFS.
*
* Note that hcf_send_msg does not detect NIC absence.  The MSF is supposed to have its own -platform dependent-
* way to recognize card removal/insertion.
* The total system must be robust against card removal and there is no principal difference between card removal
* just after hcf_send_msg returns but before the actual transmission took place or sometime earlier.
*
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp has a recognizable out-of-range value
* - descp is a NULL pointer
* - no resources for PIF available.
* - Interrupts are enabled.
* - reentrancy, may be  caused by calling hcf_functions without adequate protection
*	against NIC interrupts or multi-threading.
*
*.DIAGRAM
*4:	for the normal case (i.e. no HFS_TX_CNTL_TX_DELAY option active), a fid is acquired via the
*	routine get_fid.  If no FID is acquired, the remainder is skipped without an error notification.  After
*	all, the MSF is not supposed to call hcf_send_msg when no Resource is available.
*7:	The ControlField of the TxFS is written.  Since put_frag can only return the fatal Defunct or "No NIC", the
*	return status can be ignored because when it fails, cmd_wait will fail as well.  (see also the note on the
*	need for a return code below).
*	Note that HFS_TX_CNTL has different values for H-I, H-I/SSN and H-II and HFS_ADDR_DEST has different
*	values for H-I (regardless of SSN) and H-II.
*	By writing 17, 1 or 2 ( implying 16, 0 or 1 garbage word after HFS_TX_CNTL) the BAP just gets to
*	HFS_ADDR_DEST for H-I, H-I/SSN and H-II respectively.
*10: if neither encapsulation nor MIC calculation is needed, splitting the first fragment in two does not
*	really help but it makes the flow easier to follow to do not optimize on this difference
*
*	hcf_send_msg checks whether the frame is an Ethernet-II rather than an "official" 802.3 frame.
*	The E-II check is based on the length/type field in the MAC header. If this field has a value larger than
*	1500, E-II is assumed. The implementation of this test fails if the length/type field is not in the first
*	descriptor.  If E-II is recognized, a SNAP header is inserted. This SNAP header represents either RFC1042
*	or Bridge-Tunnel encapsulation, depending on the return status of the support routine hcf_encap.
*
*.NOTICE
*	hcf_send_msg leaves the responsibility to only send messages on enabled ports at the MSF level.
*	This is considered the strategy which is sufficiently adequate for all "robust" MSFs, have the least
*	processor utilization and being still acceptable robust at the WCI !!!!!
*
*	hcf_send_msg does not NEED a return value to report NIC absence or removal during the execution of
*	hcf_send_msg(), because the MSF and higher layers must be able to cope anyway with the NIC being removed
*	after a successful completion of hcf_send_msg() but before the actual transmission took place.
*	To accommodate user expectations the current implementation does report NIC absence.
*	Defunct blocks all NIC access and will (also) be reported on a number of other calls.
*
*	hcf_send_msg does not check for transmit buffer overflow because the Hermes does this protection.
*	In case of a transmit buffer overflow, the surplus which does not fit in the buffer is simply dropped.
*	Note that this possibly results in the transmission of incomplete frames.
*
*	After some deliberation with F/W team, it is decided that - being in the twilight zone of not knowing
*	whether the problem at hand is an MSF bug, HCF buf, F/W bug, H/W malfunction or even something else - there
*	is no "best thing to do" in case of a failing send, hence the HCF considers the TxFID ownership to be taken
*	over by the F/W and hopes for an Allocate event in due time

*	ifbp		address of the Interface Block
*  In non-DMA mode:
*	bufp		address of char buffer, sufficiently large to hold the first part of the RxFS up through HFS_TYPE
*	len			length in bytes of buffer specified by bufp

*
*.RETURNS
*	HCF_SUCCESS
*	HCF_ERR_MIC	message contains an erroneous MIC (only if frame fits completely in bufp)
*
*.DESCRIPTION
*
* MSF-accessible fields of Result Block
* - IFB_RxLen			0 or Frame size.
* - IFB_MBInfoLen		0 or the L-field of the oldest MBIB.
* - IFB_RscInd
* - IFB_HCF_Tallies		updated if a corresponding event occurred.
* - IFB_NIC_Tallies		updated if a Tally Info frame received from the NIC.
* - IFB_DmaPackets
* - IFB_TxFsStat
* - IFB_TxFsSwSup
* - IFB_LinkStat		reflects new link status or 0x0000 if no change relative to previous hcf_service_nic call.
or
* - IFB_LinkStat		link status, 0x8000 reflects change relative to previous hcf_service_nic call.
*
* When IFB_MBInfoLen is non-zero, at least one MBIB is available.
*
* IFB_RxLen	reflects the number of received bytes in 802.3 view (Including DestAddr, SrcAddr and Length,
* excluding MIC-padding, MIC and sum check) of active Rx Frame Structure. If no Rx Data s available, IFB_RxLen
* equals 0x0000.
* Repeated execution causes the Service NIC Function to provide information about subsequently received
* messages, irrespective whether a hcf_rcv_msg or hcf_action(HCF_ACT_RX) is performed in between.
*
* When IFB_RxLen is non-zero, a Received Frame Structure is available to be routed to the protocol stack.
* When Monitor Mode is not active, this is guaranteed to be an error-free non-WMP frame.
* In case of Monitor Mode, it may also be a frame with an error or a WMP frame.
* Erroneous frames have a non-zero error-sub field in the HFS_STAT field in the look ahead buffer.
*
* If a Receive message is available in NIC RAM, the Receive Frame Structure is (partly) copied from the NIC to
* the buffer identified by bufp.
* Copying stops either after len bytes or when the complete 802.3 frame is copied.
* During the copying the message is decapsulated (if appropriate).
* If the frame is read completely by hcf_service_nic (i.e. the frame fits completely in the lookahead buffer),
* the frame is automatically ACK'ed to the F/W and still available via the look ahead buffer and hcf_rcv_msg.
* Only if the frame is read completely by hcf_service_nic, hcf_service_nic checks the MIC and sets the return
* status accordingly.  In this case, hcf_rcv_msg does not check the MIC.
*
* The MIC calculation algorithm works more efficient if the length of the look ahead buffer is
* such that it fits exactly 4 n bytes of the 802.3 frame, i.e. len == HFS_ADDR_DEST + 4*n.
*
* The Service NIC Function supports the NIC event service handling process.
* It performs the appropriate actions to service the NIC, such that the event cause is eliminated and related
* information is saved.
* The Service NIC Function is executed by the MSF ISR or polling routine as first step to determine the event
* cause(s).  It is the responsibility of the MSF to perform all not directly NIC related interrupt service
* actions, e.g. in a PC environment this includes servicing the PIC, and managing the Processor Interrupt
* Enabling/Disabling.
* In case of a polled based system, the Service NIC Function must be executed "frequently".
* The Service NIC Function may have side effects related to the Mailbox and Resource Indicator (IFB_RscInd).
*
* hcf_service_nic returns:
* - The length of the data in the available MBIB (IFB_MBInfoLen)
* - Changes in the link status (IFB_LinkStat)
* - The length of the data in the available Receive Frame Structure (IFB_RxLen)
* - updated IFB_RscInd
* - Updated Tallies
*
* hcf_service_nic is presumed to neither interrupt other HCF-tasks nor to be interrupted by other HCF-tasks.
* A way to achieve this is to precede hcf_service_nic as well as all other HCF-tasks with a call to
* hcf_action to disable the card interrupts and, after all work is completed, with a call to hcf_action to
* restore (which is not necessarily the same as enabling) the card interrupts.
* In case of a polled environment, it is assumed that the MSF programmer is sufficiently familiar with the
* specific requirements of that environment to translate the interrupt strategy to a polled strategy.
*
* hcf_service_nic services the following Hermes events:
* - HREG_EV_INFO		Asynchronous Information Frame
* - HREG_EV_INFO_DROP	WMAC did not have sufficient RAM to build Unsolicited Information Frame
* - HREG_EV_TX_EXC		(if applicable, i.e. selected via HCF_EXT_INT_TX_EX bit of HCF_EXT)
* - HREG_EV_SLEEP_REQ	(if applicable, i.e. selected via HCF_DDS/HCF_CDS bit of HCF_SLEEP)
* ** in non_DMA mode
* - HREG_EV_ALLOC		Asynchronous part of Allocation/Reclaim completed while out of resources at
* 						completion of hcf_send_msg/notify
* - HREG_EV_RX			the detection of the availability of received messages
* 						including WaveLAN Management Protocol (WMP) message processing
* ** in DMA mode
* - HREG_EV_RDMAD
* - HREG_EV_TDMAD
*!! hcf_service_nic does not service the following Hermes events:
*!! 	HREG_EV_TX 			(the "OK" Tx Event) is no longer supported by the WCI, if it occurs it is unclear
*!! 						what the cause is, so no meaningful strategy is available. Not acking the bit is
*!! 						probably the best help that can be given to the debugger.
*!! 	HREG_EV_CMD			handled in cmd_wait.
*!! 	HREG_EV_FW_DMA 		(i.e. HREG_EV_RXDMA, HREG_EV_TXDMA and_EV_LPESC) are either not used or used
*!! 						between the F/W and the DMA engine.
*!! 	HREG_EV_ACK_REG_READY is only applicable for H-II (i.e. not HII.5 and up, see DAWA)
*
*	If, in non-DMA mode, a Rx message is available, its length is reflected by the IFB_RxLen field of the IFB.
*	This length reflects the data itself and the Destination Address, Source Address and DataLength/Type field
*	but not the SNAP-header in case of decapsulation by the HCF.  If no message is available, IFB_RxLen is
*	zero.  Former versions of the HCF handled WMP messages and supported a "monitor" mode in hcf_service_nic,
*	which deposited certain or all Rx messages in the MailBox. The responsibility to handle these frames is
*	moved to the MSF. The HCF offers as supports hcf_put_info with CFG_MB_INFO as parameter to emulate the old
* 	implementation under control of the MSF.
*
* **Rx Buffer free strategy
*	When hcf_service_nic reports the availability of a non-DMA message, the MSF can access that message by
*	means of hcf_rcv_msg. It must be prevented that the LAN Controller writes new data in the NIC buffer
*	before the MSF is finished with the current message. The NIC buffer is returned to the LAN Controller
*	when:
*	 - the complete frame fits in the lookahead buffer or
*	 - hcf_rcv_msg is called or
*	 - hcf_action with HCF_ACT_RX is called or
*	 - hcf_service_nic is called again
*	It can be reasoned that hcf_action( INT_ON ) should not be given before the MSF has completely processed
*	a reported Rx-frame. The reason is that the INT_ON action is guaranteed to cause a (Rx-)interrupt (the
*	MSF is processing a Rx-frame, hence the Rx-event bit in the Hermes register must be active). This
*	interrupt will cause hcf_service_nic to be called, which will cause the ack-ing of the "last" Rx-event
*	to the Hermes, causing the Hermes to discard the associated NIC RAM buffer.
* Assert fails if
* - ifbp is zero or other recognizable out-of-range value.
* - hcf_service_nic is called without a prior call to hcf_connect.
* - interrupts are enabled.
* - reentrancy, may be  caused by calling hcf_functions without adequate protection
*	against NIC interrupts or multi-threading.
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*1:	IFB_LinkStat is cleared, if a LinkStatus frame is received, IFB_LinkStat will be updated accordingly
*	by isr_info.
or
*1:	IFB_LinkStat change indication is cleared. If a LinkStatus frame is received, IFB_LinkStat will be updated
*	accordingly by isr_info.
*2: IFB_RxLen must be cleared before the NIC presence check otherwise:
*	 -	this value may stay non-zero if the NIC is pulled out at an inconvenient moment.
*	 -	the RxAck on a zero-FID needs a zero-value for IFB_RxLen to work
*	 Note that as side-effect of the hcf_action call, the remainder of Rx related info is re-initialized as
*	 well.
*4:	In case of Defunct mode, the information supplied by Hermes is unreliable, so the body of
*	hcf_service_nic is skipped. Since hcf_cntl turns into a NOP if Primary or Station F/W is incompatible,
*	hcf_service_nic is also skipped in those cases.
*	To prevent that hcf_service_nic reports bogus information to the MSF with all - possibly difficult to
*	debug - undesirable side effects, it is paramount to check the NIC presence. In former days the presence
*	test was based on the Hermes register HREG_SW_0. Since in HCF_ACT_INT_OFF is choosen for strategy based on
*	HREG_EV_STAT, this is now also used in hcf_service_nic. The motivation to change strategy is partly
*	due to inconsistent F/W implementations with respect to HREG_SW_0 manipulation around reset and download.
*	Note that in polled environments Card Removal is not detected by INT_OFF which makes the check in
*	hcf_service_nic even more important.
*8:	The event status register of the Hermes is sampled
*	The assert checks for unexpected events ;?????????????????????????????????????.
*	 - HREG_EV_INFO_DROP is explicitly excluded from the acceptable HREG_EV_STAT bits because it indicates
*	   a too heavily loaded system.
*	 - HREG_EV_ACK_REG_READY is 0x0000 for H-I (and hopefully H-II.5)
*
*
*	HREG_EV_TX_EXC is accepted (via HREG_EV_TX_EXT) if and only if HCF_EXT_INT_TX_EX set in the HCF_EXT
*	definition at compile time.
*	The following activities are handled:
*	 -	Alloc events are handled by hcf_send_msg (and notify). Only if there is no "spare" resource, the
*		alloc event is superficially serviced by hcf_service_nic to create a pseudo-resource with value
*		0x001. This value is recognized by get_fid (called by hcf_send_msg and notify) where the real
*		TxFid is retrieved and the Hermes is acked and - hopefully - the "normal" case with a spare TxFid
*		in IFB_RscInd is restored.
*	 -	Info drop events are handled by incrementing a tally
*	 -	LinkEvent (including solicited and unsolicited tallies) are handled by procedure isr_info.
*	-	TxEx (if selected at compile time) is handled by copying the significant part of the TxFS
*		into the IFB for further processing by the MSF.
*		Note the complication of the zero-FID protection sub-scheme in DAWA.
*	Note, the Ack of all of above events is handled at the end of hcf_service_nic
*16: In case of  non-DMA ( either not compiled in or due to a run-time choice):
*	If an Rx-frame is available, first the FID of that frame is read, including the complication of the
*	zero-FID protection sub-scheme in DAWA. Note that such a zero-FID is acknowledged at the end of
*	hcf_service_nic and that this depends on the IFB_RxLen initialization in the begin of hcf_service_nic.
*	The Assert validates the HCF assumption about Hermes implementation upon which the range of
*	Pseudo-RIDs is based.
*	Then the control fields up to the start of the 802.3 frame are read from the NIC into the lookahead buffer.
*	The status field is converted to native Endianess.
*	The length is, after implicit Endianess conversion if needed, and adjustment for the 14 bytes of the
*	802.3 MAC header, stored in IFB_RxLen.
*	In MAC Monitor mode, 802.11 control frames with a TOTAL length of 14 are received, so without this
*	length adjustment, IFB_RxLen could not be used to distinguish these frames from "no frame".
*	No MIC calculation processes are associated with the reading of these Control fields.
*26: This length test feels like superfluous robustness against malformed frames, but it turned out to be
*	needed in the real (hostile) world.
*	The decapsulation check needs sufficient data to represent DA, SA, L, SNAP and Type which amounts to
*	22 bytes. In MAC Monitor mode, 802.11 control frames with a smaller length are received. To prevent
*	that the implementation goes haywire, a check on the length is needed.
*	The actual decapsulation takes place on the fly in the copying process by overwriting the SNAP header.
*	Note that in case of decapsulation the SNAP header is not passed to the MSF, hence IFB_RxLen must be
*	compensated for the SNAP header length.
*	The 22 bytes needed for decapsulation are (more than) sufficient for the exceptional handling of the
*	MIC algorithm of the L-field (replacing the 2 byte L-field with 4 0x00 bytes).
*30: The 12 in the no-SSN branch corresponds with the get_frag, the 2 with the IPW of the SSN branch
*32: If Hermes reported MIC-presence, than the MIC engine is initialized with the non-dummy MIC calculation
*	routine address and appropriate key.
*34: The 8 bytes after the DA, SA, L are read and it is checked whether decapsulation is needed i.e.:
*	  - the Hermes reported Tunnel encapsulation or
*	  - the Hermes reported 1042 Encapsulation and hcf_encap reports that the HCF would not have used
*		1042 as the encapsulation mechanism
*	Note that the first field of the RxFS in bufp has Native Endianess due to the conversion done by the
*	BE_PAR in get_frag.
*36: The Type field is the only word kept (after moving) of the just read 8 bytes, it is moved to the
*	L-field.  The original L-field and 6 byte SNAP header are discarded, so IFB_RxLen and buf_addr must
*	be adjusted by 8.
*40: Determine how much of the frame (starting with DA) fits in the Lookahead buffer, then read the not-yet
*	read data into the lookahead buffer.
*	If the lookahead buffer contains the complete message, check the MIC. The majority considered this
*	I/F more appropriate then have the MSF call hcf_get_data only to check the MIC.
*44: Since the complete message is copied from NIC RAM to PC RAM, the Rx can be acknowledged to the Hermes
*	to optimize the flow ( a better chance to get new Rx data in the next pass through hcf_service_nic ).
*	This acknowledgement can not be done via hcf_action( HCF_ACT_RX_ACK ) because this also clears
*	IFB_RxLEN thus corrupting the I/F to the MSF.
*;?: In case of DMA (compiled in and activated):


*54: Limiting the number of places where the F/W is acked (e.g. the merging of the Rx-ACK with the other
*	ACKs), is supposed to diminish the potential of race conditions in the F/W.
*	Note 1: The CMD event is acknowledged in cmd_cmpl
*	Note 2: HREG_EV_ACK_REG_READY is 0x0000 for H-I (and hopefully H-II.5)
*	Note 3: The ALLOC event is acknowledged in get_fid (except for the initialization flow)
*
*.NOTICE
* The Non-DMA HREG_EV_RX is handled different compared with the other F/W events.
* The HREG_EV_RX event is acknowledged by the first hcf_service_nic call after the
* hcf_service_nic call that reported the occurrence of this event.
* This acknowledgment
* makes the next Receive Frame Structure (if any) available.
* An updated IFB_RxLen
* field reflects this availability.
*
*.NOTICE
* The minimum size for Len must supply space for:
* -	an F/W dependent number of bytes of Control Info field including the 802.11 Header field
* -	Destination Address
* -	Source Address
* -	Length field
* -	[ SNAP Header]
* -	[ Ethernet-II Type]
* This results in 68 for Hermes-I and 80 for Hermes-II
* This way the minimum amount of information is available needed by the HCF to determine whether the frame
* must be decapsulated.

*
*.SUBMODULE		void calibrate( IFBP ifbp )
*.PURPOSE		calibrates the S/W protection counter against the Hermes Timer tick.
*
*.ARGUMENTS
*	ifbp		address of the Interface Block
*
*.RETURNS		N.A.
*
*.DESCRIPTION
* calibrates the S/W protection counter against the Hermes Timer tick
* IFB_TickIni is the value used to initialize the S/W protection counter such that the expiration period
* more or less independent of the processor speed. If IFB_TickIni is not yet calibrated, it is done now.
* This calibration is "reasonably" accurate because the Hermes is in a quiet state as a result of the
* Initialize command.
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*
*1:	IFB_TickIni is initialized at INI_TICK_INI by hcf_connect. If calibrate succeeds, IFB_TickIni is
*	guaranteed to be changed. As a consequence there will be only 1 shot at calibration (regardless of the
*	number of init calls) under normal circumstances.
*2:	Calibration is done HCF_PROT_TIME_CNT times. This diminish the effects of jitter and interference,
*	especially in a pre-emptive environment. HCF_PROT_TIME_CNT is in the range of 16 through 32 and derived
*	from the HCF_PROT_TIME specified by the MSF programmer. The divisor needed to scale HCF_PROT_TIME into the
*	16-32 range, is used as a multiplicator after the calibration, to scale the found value back to the
*	requested range. This way a compromise is achieved between accuracy and duration of the calibration
*	process.
*3:	Acknowledge the Timer Tick Event.
*	Each cycle is limited to at most INI_TICK_INI samples of the TimerTick status of the Hermes.
*	Since the start of calibrate is unrelated to the Hermes Internal Timer, the first interval may last from 0
*	to the normal interval, all subsequent intervals should be the full length of the Hermes Tick interval.
*	The Hermes Timer Tick is not reprogrammed by the HCF, hence it is running at the default of 10 k
*	microseconds.
*4:	If the Timer Tick Event is continuously up (prot_cnt still has the value INI_TICK_INI) or no Timer Tick
*	Event occurred before the protection counter expired, reset IFB_TickIni to INI_TICK_INI,
*	set the defunct bit of IFB_CardStat (thus rendering the Hermes inoperable) and exit the calibrate routine.
*8:	ifbp->IFB_TickIni is multiplied to scale the found value back to the requested range as explained under 2.
*
*.NOTICE
* o Although there are a number of viewpoints possible, calibrate() uses as error strategy that a single
*	failure of the Hermes TimerTick is considered fatal.
* o There is no hard and concrete time-out value defined for Hermes activities. The default 1 seconds is
*	believed to be sufficiently "relaxed" for real life and to be sufficiently short to be still useful in an
*	environment with humans.
* o Note that via IFB_DefunctStat time outs in cmd_wait and in hcfio_string block all Hermes access till the
*	next init so functions which call a mix of cmd_wait and hcfio_string only need to check the return status
*	of the last call
* o The return code is preset at Time out.
*	The additional complication that no calibrated value for the protection count can be assumed since
*	calibrate() does not yet have determined a calibrated value (a catch 22), is handled by setting the
*	initial value at INI_TICK_INI (by hcf_connect). This approach is considered safe, because:
*	  - the HCF does not use the pipeline mechanism of Hermes commands.
*	  - the likelihood of failure (the only time when protection count is relevant) is small.
*	  - the time will be sufficiently large on a fast machine (busy bit drops on good NIC before counter
*		expires)
*	  - the time will be sufficiently small on a slow machine (counter expires on bad NIC before the end user
*	  	switches the power off in despair
*	The time needed to wrap a 32 bit counter around is longer than many humans want to wait, hence the more or
*	less arbitrary value of 0x40000L is chosen, assuming it does not take too long on an XT and is not too
*	short on a scream-machine.

*
*.DESCRIPTION
* Executes synchronous Hermes Command and waits for Command Completion
*
* The general HCF strategy is to wait for command completion. As a consequence:
* - the read of the busy bit before writing the command register is superfluous
* - the Hermes requirement that no Inquiry command may be executed if there is still an unacknowledged
*	Inquiry command outstanding, is automatically met.
* The Tx command uses the "Busy" bit in the cmd_code parameter to deviate from this general HCF strategy.
* The idea is that by not busy-waiting on completion of this frequently used command the processor
* utilization is diminished while using the busy-wait on all other seldom used commands the flow is kept
* simple.
*
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*
*1:	skip the body of cmd_exe when in defunct mode or when - based on the S/W Support register write and
*	read back test - there is apparently no NIC.
*	Note: we gave up on the "old" strategy to write the S/W Support register at magic only when needed. Due to
*	the intricateness of Hermes F/W varieties ( which behave differently as far as corruption of the S/W
*	Support register is involved), the increasing number of Hermes commands which do an implicit initialize
*	(thus modifying the S/W Support register) and the workarounds of some OS/Support S/W induced aspects (e.g.
*	the System Soft library at WinNT which postpones the actual mapping of I/O space up to 30 seconds after
*	giving the go-ahead), the "magic" strategy is now reduced to a simple write and read back. This means that
*	problems like a bug tramping over the memory mapped Hermes registers will no longer be noticed as side
*	effect of the S/W Support register check.
*2:	check whether the preceding command skipped the busy wait and if so, check for command completion

*.DESCRIPTION
* process the single byte (if applicable) read by the previous get_frag and copy len (or len-1) bytes from

* On a Big Endian platform, the parameter word_len controls the number of leading bytes whose endianess is
* converted (i.e. byte swapped)
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*10: The PCMCIA card can be removed in the middle of the transfer. By depositing a "magic number" in the
*	HREG_SW_0 register of the Hermes at initialization time and by verifying this register, it can be
*	determined whether the card is still present. The return status is set accordingly.
*	Clearing the buffer is a (relative) cheap way to prevent that failing I/O results in run-away behavior
*	because the garbage in the buffer is interpreted by the caller irrespective of the return status (e.g.
*	hcf_service_nic has this behavior).
*
*.NOTICE
*	It turns out DOS ODI uses zero length fragments. The HCF code can cope with it, but as a consequence, no
*	Assert on len is possible

* - collect HSI, "active" F/W Configuration Management Information

* - check HSI and Primary F/W compatibility with the HCF
* - in case active F/W is Station or AP F/W: check Station or AP F/W compatibility with the HCF
* - in case active F/W is not Primary F/W: allocate FIDs to be used in transmit/notify process
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*2:	drop all error status bits in IFB_CardStat since they are expected to be re-evaluated.
*4:	Ack everything except HREG_EV_SLEEP_REQ. It is very likely that an Alloc event is pending and
*	very well possible that a Send Cmd event is pending. Acking HREG_EV_SLEEP_REQ is handled by hcf_action(
*	HCF_ACT_INT_ON ) !!!
*10: Calibrate the S/W time-out protection mechanism by calling calibrate(). Note that possible errors
*	in the calibration process are nor reported by init but will show up via the defunct mechanism in
*	subsequent hcf-calls.
*14: usb_check_comp() is called to have the minimal visual clutter for the legacy H-I USB dongle
*	compatibility check.
*16: The following configuration management related information is retrieved from the NIC:
*	 - HSI supplier
*	 - F/W Identity
*	 - F/W supplier
*	 if appropriate:
*	 - PRI Identity
*	 - PRI supplier
*	 appropriate means on H-I: always
*	 and on H-II if F/W supplier reflects a primary (i.e. only after an Hermes Reset or Init
*	 command).
*	 QUESTION ;? !!!!!! should, For each of the above RIDs the Endianess is converted to native Endianess.
*	 Only the return code of the first hcf_get_info is used. All hcf_get_info calls are made, regardless of
*	 the success or failure of the 1st hcf_get_info. The assumptions are:
*	  - if any call fails, they all fail, so remembering the result of the 1st call is adequate
*	  - a failing call will overwrite the L-field with a 0x0000 value, which services both as an
*		error indication for the values cached in the IFB as making mmd_check_comp fail.
*	 In case of H-I, when getting the F/W identity fails, the F/W is assumed to be H-I AP F/W pre-dating
*	 version 9.0 and the F/W Identity and Supplier are faked accordingly.
*	 In case of H-II, the Primary, Station and AP Identity are merged into a single F/W Identity.
*	 The same applies to the Supplier information. As a consequence the PRI information can no longer be
*	 retrieved when a Tertiary runs. To accommodate MSFs and Utilities who depend on PRI information being
*	 available at any time, this information is cached in the IFB. In this cache the generic "F/W" value of
*	 the typ-fields is overwritten with the specific (legacy) "PRI" values. To actually re-route the (legacy)
*	 PRI request via hcf_get_info, the xxxx-table must be set.  In case of H-I, this caching, modifying and
*	 re-routing is not needed because PRI information is always available directly from the NIC. For
*	 consistency the caching fields in the IFB are filled with the PRI information anyway.
*18: mdd_check_comp() is called to check the Supplier Variant and Range of the Host-S/W I/F (HSI) and the
*	Primary Firmware Variant and Range against the Top and Bottom level supported by this HCF.  If either of
*	these tests fails, the CARD_STAT_INCOMP_PRI bit of IFB_CardStat is set
*	Note: There should always be a primary except during production, so this makes the HCF in its current form
*	unsuitable for manufacturing test systems like the FTS. This can be remedied by an adding a test like
*	ifbp->IFB_PRISup.id == COMP_ID_PRI
*20: In case there is Tertiary F/W and this F/W is Station F/W, the Supplier Variant and Range of the Station
*	Firmware function as retrieved from the Hermes is checked against the Top and Bottom level supported by
*	this HCF.
*	Note: ;? the tertiary F/W compatibility checks could be moved to the DHF, which already has checked the
*	CFI and MFI compatibility of the image with the NIC before the image was downloaded.
*28: In case of non-Primary F/W: allocates and acknowledge a (TX or Notify) FID and allocates without
*	acknowledge another (TX or Notify) FID (the so-called 1.5 alloc scheme) with the following steps:
*	- execute the allocate command by calling cmd_exe
*	- wait till either the alloc event or a time-out occurs
*	- regardless whether the alloc event occurs, call get_fid to
*	  - read the FID and save it in IFB_RscInd to be used as "spare FID"
*	  - acknowledge the alloc event
*	  - do another "half" allocate to complete the "1.5 Alloc scheme"
*	  Note that above 3 steps do not harm and thus give the "cheapest" acceptable strategy.
*	  If a time-out occurred, then report time out status (after all)

*	decrementing info[0]. As a result of a bug in some version of the F/W, info[0] may be 0, resulting
*	in a very long loop in the pre-decrement logic.
*4:	In case of a link status frame, the information is copied to the IFB field IFB_linkStat
*6:	All other than Tallies (including "unknown" ones) are checked against the selection set by the MSF
*	via CFG_RID_LOG. If a match is found or the selection set has the wild-card type (i.e non-NULL buffer
*	pointer at the terminating zero-type), the frame is copied to the (type-specific) log buffer.
*	Note that to accumulate tallies into IFB AND to log them or to log a frame when a specific match occures
*	AND based on the wild-card selection, you have to call setup_bap again after the 1st copy.

*				as an LTV into the MailBox
*
*.RETURNS
*
*.DESCRIPTION
* If the data does not fit (including no MailBox is available), the IFB_MBTally is incremented and an
* error status is returned.
* HCF_ASSERT does not catch.
* Calling put_info_mb when their is no MailBox available, is considered a design error in the MSF.
*
* Note that there is always at least 1 word of unused space in the mail box.
* As a consequence:
* - no problem in pointer arithmetic (MB_RP == MB_WP means unambiguously mail box is completely empty
* - There is always free space to write an L field with a value of zero after each MB_Info block.  This
*   allows for an easy scan mechanism in the "get MB_Info block" logic.
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*1:	Calculate L field of the MBIB, i.e. 1 for the T-field + the cumulative length of the fragments.
*2:	The free space in the MailBox is calculated (2a: free part from Write Ptr to Read Ptr, 2b: free part
*	turns out to wrap around) . If this space suffices to store the number of words reflected by len (T-field
*	+ Value-field) plus the additional MailBox Info L-field + a trailing 0 to act as the L-field of a trailing
*	dummy or empty LTV record, then a MailBox Info block is build in the MailBox consisting of
*	  - the value len in the first word
*	  - type in the second word
*	  - a copy of the contents of the fragments in the second and higher word
*
*4:	Since put_info_mb() can more or less directly be called from the MSF level, the I/F must be robust
*	against out-of-range variables. As failsafe coding, the MB update is skipped by changing tlen to 0 if
*	len == 0; This will indirectly cause an assert as result of the violation of the next if clause.
*6:	Check whether the free space in MailBox suffices (this covers the complete absence of the MailBox).
*	Note that len is unsigned, so even MSF I/F violation works out O.K.
*	The '2' in the expression "len+2" is used because 1 word is needed for L itself and 1 word is needed
*	for the zero-sentinel
*8:	update MailBox Info length report to MSF with "oldest" MB Info Block size. Be carefull here, if you get
*	here before the MailBox is registered, you can't read from the buffer addressed by IFB_MBp (it is the
*	Null buffer) so don't move this code till the end of this routine but keep it where there is garuanteed
*	a buffer.
*
*.NOTICE
*	boundary testing depends on the fact that IFB_MBSize is guaranteed to be zero if no MailBox is present,
*	and to a lesser degree, that IFB_MBWp = IFB_MBRp = 0

*
*.DESCRIPTION
*
* A non-zero return status indicates:
* - the NIC is considered nonoperational, e.g. due to a time-out of some Hermes activity in the past
* - BAP_1 could not properly be initialized
* - the card is removed before completion of the data transfer
* In all other cases, a zero is returned.
* BAP Initialization failure indicates an H/W error which is very likely to signal complete H/W failure.
* Once a BAP Initialization failure has occurred all subsequent interactions with the Hermes will return a
* "defunct" status till the Hermes is re-initialized by means of an hcf_connect.
*
* A BAP is a set of registers (Offset, Select and Data) offering read/write access to a particular FID or
* RID. This access is based on a auto-increment feature.
* There are two BAPs but these days the HCF uses only BAP_1 and leaves BAP_0 to the PCI Busmastering H/W.
*
* The BAP-mechanism is based on the Busy bit in the Offset register (see the Hermes definition). The waiting
* for Busy must occur between writing the Offset register and accessing the Data register. The
* implementation to wait for the Busy bit drop after each write to the Offset register, implies that the
* requirement that the Busy bit is low  before the Select register is written, is automatically met.
* BAP-setup may be time consuming (e.g. 380 usec for large offsets occurs frequently). The wait for Busy bit
* drop is protected by a loop counter, which is initialized with IFB_TickIni, which is calibrated in init.
*
* The NIC I/F is optimized for word transfer and can only handle word transfer at a word boundary in NIC
* RAM. The intended solution for transfer of a single byte has multiple H/W flaws. There have been different
* S/W Workaround strategies. RID access is hcf_16 based by "nature", so no byte access problems.  For Tx/Rx
* FID access,  the byte logic became obsolete by absorbing it in the double word oriented nature of the MIC
* feature.
*
*
*.DIAGRAM
*
*2:	the test on rc checks whether the HCF went into "defunct" mode ( e.g. BAP initialization or a call to
*	cmd_wait did ever fail).
*4:	the select register and offset register are set
*	the offset register is monitored till a successful condition (no busy bit) is detected or till the
*	(calibrated) protection counter expires
*	If the counter expires, this is reflected in IFB_DefunctStat, so all subsequent calls to setup_bap fail
*	immediately ( see 2)
*6:	initialization of the carry as used by pet/get_frag
*8:	HREG_OFFSET_ERR is ignored as error because:
*	 a: the Hermes is robust against it
*	 b: it is not known what causes it (probably a bug), hence no strategy can be specified which level is
*		to handle this error in which way. In the past, it could be induced by the MSF level, e.g. by calling
*		hcf_rcv_msg while there was no Rx-FID available. Since this is an MSF-error which is caught by ASSERT,
*		there is no run-time action required by the HCF.
*	Lumping the Offset error in with the Busy bit error, as has been done in the past turns out to be a
*	disaster or a life saver, just depending on what the cause of the error is. Since no prediction can be
*	done about the future, it is "felt" to be the best strategy to ignore this error. One day the code was
*	accompanied by the following comment:
*	//	ignore HREG_OFFSET_ERR, someone, supposedly the MSF programmer ;) made a bug. Since we don't know
*	//	what is going on, we might as well go on - under management pressure - by ignoring it
